BOAT Briefing: What it's like to pilot a superyacht in the Antarctic

Episode 49,   Aug 20, 2021, 09:56 AM

In this week’s BOAT Briefing the team discuss top yachting cities – from Hong Kong to Miami – and a sudden owner boom in Australia. They ponder which vessels might suit Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher, who also recently expressed an interest in hitting the water himself, with a fitting name: Mega Mega White Thing. 

In the headlines, there’s news of a new 44.1m sailing catamaran by Wider and Pajot Custom Yachts; some big listings including the 72m Azteca and the 24m pocket explorer Livingstone; and the team discuss the new images that have been released of 115m Lurssen superyacht Enzo, formerly known as Project Testarossa. 

The data story focuses on the world’s biggest boats, and analyses the current fleet of 100m+, while the interview is with expert ice pilot Ashley Perrin.
